Harry Kane

Hopefully he's just really tired, carrying an injury or just out of sorts, the Kane of this tournament wouldn't be talked about at anywhere near 100m.
Hopefully if we get him, he comes out all guns blazing this coming season

Seen nothing to tell us he would be anything more than back up, average and not good enough for me.

As I say, not had the chance to prove himself yet. He might not be up to it, but I doubt he'd want to go without giving himself the opportunity to show we were right to buy him in the first place

Agreed
Never said he was shit, never said I wouldn’t keep him
But I certainly think Kane is a lot better

Kane may have a better minutes to goal ratio and can certainly take a penalty. However, is it worth paying £100m+ (less what we could get for Jesus) for that and lose a player who is near as damn it perfect for the pressing game we play? Especially when many on here think Gabby is worth next to fuck all.

Once you take out penalties Jesus' minutes per goal hasn't been that different to Kane's.

Totally get your point, but our club cannot just discount Kane's penalty record. It's above average and Jesus' is very much below average. You want your top striker to be taking penalties and you want to be confident they will put it into the back of the net. I get that it skews stats like that, however.
 
I’d like Kane but not at the expense of Jesus.
Any new CF we sign should be to compliment, not replace Jesus.
If he himself decides it’s time to go then fair enough, not much we can do about that but we’d be mad to push it ourselves.

Gabriel Jesus : 123 starts plus 72 as a substitute. 82 goals. Pretty decent record in my eyes. I reckon that equates to a very good minutes to goal ratio.

Of those 82 goals, about 80 of them are as a starter too, his figures are massively diluted by getting a lot of short sub appearances.

He'll go and score 30 a season somewhere when he does go.

Sure - but Kane's penalty record is similar to Gundogan - 86% to 85%, with Kev not far behind on 80% (which is one less penalty scored every 2-3 years). It's handy having extra penalty takers on the pitch, but it's hardly a £100m bonus.

Jesus and Kane are very different players though - I'd prefer Jesus to stay (even if Kane comes), and be judged less as a pure striker, and more on his overall contribution to the team's attack. He offers so much on top of his goal threat - which is still hugely impressive given the minutes he gets on the pitch.
